I wouldn't of thought so Mike - what would bash do with a line like

setenv SOURCE /usr/local/src

when it was expecting something like

SOURCE=/usr/local/src ; export SOURCE

I suspect you'd break your shell and then have to repair it pretty quickly!

Reminds me of the time one of my sysprogs changed the logon procedure on an
MVS mainframe, right before it was rebooted (IPL'd). Of course, he'd made a
typo, and hadn't tested it. Machine came back up and no-one could log in
because the login proc now didn't work!

He had to make a very embarrassed phonecall to IBM to get an engineer out
and fix the typo!

(I found it hilarious, but it was just as well it was on a Friday night with
no online day on the Saturday, so we had plenty of time to effect a repair).
